Yes, there is more to download. If you go into "Play Games" and double-click Half-Life 2 in the list it will begin the pre-load process again. It will be around the 50% number, but you start downloading an almost 1GB sound package which is now on my machine. So there is almost 2GB of information from the pre-load at this time.

Mine's going right now. When Steam started this morning I glanced down at it, and it had a different icon. It's the same little symbol but with a line coming out of the top of it, and it's usually only there when you're downloading something, so I looked at it sort of puzzled at first and then checked out the monitor. Sure enough, second part of the HL2 preload was going.

so you didn't click on HL2, and it started on it's own? hopefully mine will do that too.

It's likely always been Sept. 30 of some year. Sorta like DNF is "Sometime in the future we might make a game" kinda plan. I do wonder whether 3D Realms actually sends out updates to the publisher any more, or if they just gave up and decided to focus on playing MP Doom all day instead of coding.
